The Clarendon Is Topped Off

A topping off ceremony was held Tuesday at The Clarendon where the final bucket of concrete was hoisted atop the 33-story tower.

The residential project, which is being developed by The Beal Cos. of Boston and the Related Cos. of New York, is under construction in Boston’s Back Bay.

The Clarendon consists of 103 condominiums, 178 rental units and three dozen affordable units at The Clarendon. The Clarendon will include a restaurant, gourmet market and an on-site, relocated U.S. Post Office.

Construction on tower will be complete in late 2009 when the building will be ready for occupancy. The owners expect the project to achieve a LEED Silver rating from the U.S. Green Building Council.

The Clarendon was designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and is being constructed by Bovis Lend Lease.
